"The corporation is established to develop the wealth, political power and welfare of the Italian nation. Corporativism means a disciplined and therefore controlled, economy, since there can be no discipline which is not controlled. Corporativism overcomes socialism as well as it does liberalism: it creates a new synthesis." Mussolini

The Philosophical Roots of Modern Ideology, David E. Ingersoll, 3rd edition, Prentic Hall, (pg 222)

While the US did not--in the beginning--intend for this type of economic system to be established, it has emerged nonetheless, and this new proposed legislation(tort reform)--that helps corporations escape obligation to provide reparations to those they have wronged--is a perfect example--in the long list of examples--of a "controlled economy".

There is simply too much of a connection between government and corporations these days. Politicians cannot progress in the political machinery unless they acquiesce to the wants of corporate America. The Government is controlling the rules of the market--making possible higher corporate earnings--while consequentially hurting the individual.

Meanwhile our fascistic nation state is measured not only by its military capability--as in Italy or Germany prior to and during WWII--but by its GDP, by the percentage growth of the entire economy. We Document progress by measures which relate only to the "nation", thus supplanting the "individual" of classical liberalism, with the "new synthesis" described by Mussolini.

What is reported on the news to help us believe the "nation" is headed in the right direction? Military victories for one, and secondly economic growth. Do you not see how the glory of the nation state has replaced the individual's glory here in America? That my friend is the true essence of Fascism.
